speech on social networking and tenagers

Answer 1

People who are nostalgic about childhood, were obviously never children. Few people can remember the truth about adolescence. Their minds "censor" their memories; and have them believe that being a teenager was was one big party, free of cares and responsibilities. Well let me say this, you couldnOt be more wrong if you had a lobotomy. There aren't that many adults around who realise what adolescence was really like. The anguish, the fear, the anxiety, the stress. People don't remember those problems because they want to forget them. 

The truth of the matter is, is that being a teenager is hard, right from the beginning, and it doesn't get any easier. We are such easy prey for big name companies who advertise using the pressure …show more content… 

There are thousands of poems floating around written by bitter or depressed teenagers that are never recognised as works of art. Another form of escape for teenagers is, unfortunately, suicide. It is alarming how high the teen suicide rates have risen over the past decade. Yet, it is comforting that there are support groups and counsellors available now to aid teens through their troubles. Because no one wants to see a life full of promise and potential end abruptly because of a little sorrow in one kid's life. Another reason for teen suicide is their home life. The teenager gets caught in the middle of an argument between their parents, and they take the blame personally. This is not right. Sometimes the child is beaten or abused and is forced to run away into the streets, where they become homeless, and sometimes abducted. Sometimes they just die in a back alley during a cold winterOs night, and they are never missed. At sixteen, a teenager knows about suffering, because he himself has suffered, but he barely knows that other beings also suffer. 

Although, some teenagers face their problems. They plod along through school. Some of them get after-school or weekend jobs. They learn responsibility. Eventually, they enter adulthood and the work force. Successful, confident, and eager to work. They lead their lives using the knowledge they swallowed

One of the most major impacts that social media has had on teenagers today is how we perform in school. It is one of the most distracting activities of everyday life. Recent experiments at UCLA have shown that nucleus accumbens (a part of the brain’s reward circuitry) was very active when teenagers saw that they had received a lot of likes on their photos that would influence to further use Instagram more often. This affects the loss of brain cells and further decreases better school performance. From my experience, I could be on social media for hours and hours at a time. The first year that I got social media was in 6th grade that was when I got my first smartphone. I did struggle to keep up with my school work and social media at the same time but as soon as I learned to refrain myself, school work became much easier and my grades improved greatly. Now, during the school year, I check social media less often because of homework and extracurricular activities after school. Even when I am doing my homework, it is still a struggle to refrain from checking all the notifications that are constantly being updated on my phone. When state testing time comes around, I am not allowed to have my phone with me after I come back from school because my parents want me to only focus on studying for the following day’s exam. As much as I dislike getting my phone taken away from me, I always come to understand that it has only helped me, especially with my school work.
